Glad to hear you're keeping 08! I'm late to the party, and although both look beautiful, I definitely prefer 08 on youperfect! (it picked 08)
Here is the pictures. If you can wear wider version, you should get the wide one which shows more design.
Thank you soooo much! I love it!

Thanks smallfry!
AnnaE, I don't think I'll find it tricky at all, although I'm waiting for slightly springier weather before I take it on its maiden voyage. I did think about that question when I tried it on as well, because it is such a seemingly delicate object. Here's my reasoning as to why I'll still feel carefree about wearing it:
1. I've often found with H that the more fine and delicate something looks, the harder it wears. Thinking about my scarf collection, some of my hardiest pieces are the thinnest: my mousselines are tough as nails (excepting the last couple of years which have been much more prone to snags in my experience), and the Altai "Plaid" blankets that I wear as wraps are still perfect in spite of a razor-thin, open weave. Here's a comparison between the Vibrato Plume and one of my Altais.
View attachment 4317020
The Altai is 100% cashmere and a slightly different weave, but it's the size of a full-size mattress yet made so that it can be pulled through a small wooden ring, so you can imagine how delicate it feels. I've worn it on planes, trains, subways, through careless crowds, sitting on a log at a campfire, recklessly stuffed it in bags with my keys-- you name the shawl crime and I've committed it-- and the threads haven't budged in years of wearing it hard. My CSGMs should take lessons from it!
2. Looking carefully at the Vibrato Plume, you can see its handmade nature: the fine threads aren't all pushed perfectly together, some of them have tiny little waves, etc. I really like this about it, that I can see the role of a human hand in working on the loom. Somehow it also makes me more comfortable with the idea that a thread or two might move a little during the natural course of events.
3. It's a busy pattern and I think its play of colors and shimmers will camouflage just about any flaws that crop up. As long as I'm comfortable potentially knowing one is there (and I am), I don't feel worried other people will see anything amiss.
4. My SA said worst-case scenario, it can be sent back to Nepal for repair. I doubt it'll come to that, but it's a nice thing to know!
5. The price-to-beauty ratio in this piece is (for me) favorable enough that I won't lambaste myself over the lost money if an accident befalls the shawl. If it were three times the price, that might be another story.
All that being said, it would certainly be possible to hook something through the weave, yank, and create a big gap of shifted threads at best or a hole at worst. I haven't encountered situations like that in my scarf-wearing, but if I knew that was my particular type of scarf-risk, I would perhaps think twice (@dharma mentioned doggie nails upthread, and that strikes me as a very valid concern).
So when the weather turns a little brighter, I'm planning on getting lots of use out of this piece. My thought is that it'll be especially handy for evenings that get cooler as the night goes on. On such occasions I might start out wearing the Vibrato as a stole:

...and then when the temperature drops, unwind it and spread it out as a wrap:

(Terrible drab lighting here today, but you get the idea, even if no justice is done to the luminous colors!)
This is fab! Two colourways this came in? So beautiful! And now I want a couple more scarves. Thank you for sharing this information!
Oh, yes, I see the difference now. Thank you so much for the clarification & the link, @calexandre .
This is SO STUNNING!! I allergic to wool and cashmere so I’ll never be able to wear this beauty so I’ll just admire your mod shots.AnnaE, I don't think I'll find it tricky at all, although I'm waiting for slightly springier weather before I take it on its maiden voyage.

Loving everything about this , I’d have passed it by but seeing it worn makes all the difference.
I feel myself becoming sated with H CSGMs ; lovely as they are a shawl with a patterned design gives a certain look , and I feel ready for something new.
.Tad-a.............
....found it !
I was only trying this R Gloria 07 so far as it wasn't on my original list but I thought some of you may like to see it (and I can't remember if this cw has been shown). It's very simple in many ways but the colours are so good for me - the background is not black but dark green (although they overlap a little on a Tattersale) and the exuberant, painterly feel gives it dynamism.

It’s beautiful! But I can’t concentrate because your coat is gorgeous!!
One other question the pale pink shawl? Is that h as well? TIA!!AnnaE, I don't think I'll find it tricky at all, although I'm waiting for slightly springier weather before I take it on its maiden voyage.

So good to know about the background! It's beautiful. I saw the aqua CW in person and it's also a winner.
It’s beautiful! But I can’t concentrate because your coat is gorgeous!!
It took me 10 years before I took the plunge and bought one (had to find a casual shape too)
First time I’ve seen this CW and this is my favourite to date!
